AVECC 2001 was held on January 30-February 1, 2001 in Bangkok, Thailand. Sponsored by the Association for Emissions Control by Catalyst (AECC) and the Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association (MECA), AVECC 2001 was a technical symposium that brought together experts from regulatory agencies, industry, and academia in Asia and around the world to share information and ideas on motor vehicle emission control technology developments and experience and motor vehicle emission control program implementation and operating experience. The conference was an overwhelming success as 114 participants from 14 countries were in attendance.
